"[first lines] Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to see an unforgettable show, a film destined to become immortal, as immortal as the music which will follow, and which will be interpreted through animation.

With this film, we have finally succeeded in achieving this union of animation and classical music, a union we are sure is destined to live on throughout the history of film.

They insist that our film – this is all so ridiculous –was already made by a certain fellow years ago. A certain someone by the name of Prisney or Grisney. Some American. [picks up phone again] In any case, before you go around opening your big mouth, see the film first!"
